Curiosities OF Language.

The Hindors are said to have no word
for friend. The Italians have no equiv
alent for our humility The Russian
dictionary gives word the defination of
which is mot to have enough buttons on
your feotman's S waistcoat: second means
to kill over again. a third to earn by
dancing, The Germans thimble finger
hat which it certainly is, and grass
hopper hay horse. A glove with them
is a hand shoe, showing that they wore
shoes before gloves. The French, strange
to say. have no verb TO stand, nor can
Frenchman speak of kicking any one.
The nearest approach he, in his politeness
makes to it, is to threaten to give blow
with his foot, the same thing, probably
to the recipient in either case, but It seems
to want the directness, the energy of our
kick The terms up stairs and down
stairs are also unknown TO the French.

It is convenient sometimes to mark our
tools. This can easily be done as follows:
First clean the place you wish to mark,
and then cover it with a thin layer Of
beeswax, raising the edges so as to form a
basin. Mark your name in the wax with
a sharp instrument, cutting it through TO
the steel. When this is done, fill the
basin with undiluted nitric acid, or aqua
forts, and let it stand awhile. The
longer it stands the deeper it viii cut.
Then wash with water scientific Ameri-
can.

tits night now, and here is home. Gath
cred under the quiet roof, elders and
children lie, alike at rest. In the midst
Of great calm the stars look out from
the heavens The silence is peopl ed with
the past-sorrowful remorse for sins and
shortcomings, memories of passionate
joys and grief rise out Of their graves
both now alike calm and sad. Eyes, as
] shut mine, look at me that have long
since ceased to shine The town and the
fair landscape sleep under the starlight,
wreathed under the autumn mist Twink
ling among the houses, light keeps
watch here and there in what may be n
sick chamber or two. The clock tolls
sweetly in the silent air. Here is night
and rest. Anawful sense of thanks makes
the heart swell and the head bow, as |
pass to my room through the sleeping
house, and feel as though a hushed
blessing were upon it.--Thacketry

Providing Their Own Monuments.

The tallest monument in New York
state and in all probability, in the coun-
try is that which marks the grave Of Gen.
John K. Wool, at Troy, n. Y. The fa-
nous general left $50, 600 in his will for
the monument. It is a plain granite shaft
which rises in tapering grandeur far above
the surrounding trees, and can be seen for
miles in any direction. Long John Went
worth is now erecting q monument to
himself in Chicago cemetery, which will
cost him S32, ,000.-New York Cor. Boston

Push ON.

A wise man will never rust out. As
long as he breathes the breath of life, he
will be doing something for himself, his
country or posterity. Washington
Franklin, Howard, Young, Newton, all
ere at work almost to the last hour Of
their existence. 1t is foolish thing to
believe that we must lie down and die
simply because we are old. The man Of
energy is not old; it is he who suffers his
energies to vast away, and permit the
springs of his life to become motionless,
on whose hands the hours drag heavily,
and to whom all things wear vestments Of
gloom. There are scores of gray heads
living to-day that we would prefer in any
important enterprise to those young
gentlemen who fear and tremble when
shadows approach, and turn away at the
first harsh word or discouraging frown.

The l." Rebel Flag +" Incident Abroad.

A London special says: Captain
Blackburne, of her Majesty S ship Shan
non, seems to be gentleman endowed
with considerably more zeal than dis
cretion. This energetic officer caught
sight of a green flag flying at the mast
head of a yacht in Bantry bay, and at
once dispatched boat in pursuit OF
the reasonable emblem. Lieutenant
Saul, who was in command OF the boat,
informed the owner of the yacht, Mr..
Murphy. NJ. p, that he was liable to
fine of $500, and in spite Of that gen.
tlemen's protests that he did not
contemplate making war upon the
Queen, but merely carried the
flag as Distinguishing signal,
he confscated the obnoxious bunt-
ing and returned in triumph to the
Shannon. A more puerile or absurd
proceeding could hardly be imagined,
even II it were legal, which is certainly
open to doubt. The editor of the 81.
.Jdmes's Gazette, however, is of very
different opinion. "H. Nj. s. Shan
non," says this rabid patriot, "should
have fred inte the craft which flew the
rebel flag in Bantry bay. and should
have sunk her or have carried her oil as
prize" II is really melancholy to no
tice what a demoralizing effect Tory
politics can have upon gentlemen who
on most subjects are not merely sane,
but practical and sensible.

The change in the policy of Servia

King Milan's chief adviser, which is
virtually the transfer of the royal and
official sympathies from favoring the
policy of Austria to that Of Russia, is
one Of the mos; important of recent
political changes in Europe. 1t is close
ly followed by the news that King Mi
Ian is about to sue for divorce from
Queen Natalie, whose return TO Servia
is doubtful. Since her departure from
belgrade (she is now travelling) the
Queen has scarcely communicated with
her husband, who has only received q
few lines from time to time from her
Majt sty's secretary. For several years
past the royal couple have been living

SOUTHERN LEGISLATURES.

COLUMBIA, S. c., December Especial. l.
Tn the house today another bill proposing to
reduce the salaries of state officers was sum-
marily slaughtered. The bill to exempt all
property from taxation and utilize the phos-
plate deposits belonging to the state in meet
ing the expenses of the government was una
voidably reported, but its consideration was
postponed to future day. The bill to estab-
lish an agricultural college was favorably re-
ported and made special order for next
Thursday. The bill to compel insurance
companies to pay the full value of all loss and
damage to property insured to the extent of
the sum specified in the policy was after a
short debate rejected. The bill declaring
the right of married women to
control their separate estates passed its second
reading, as did also the bill to apportion the
representatives of the several counties OF this
state in the house of representatives upon the
basis of the United States census.
The senate passed the joint resolution pro-
viding for calling constitutional convention,
and adopted all but one of the house amend
ments to the bill TO prohibit the obstruction of
navigation by the construction of railroad
bridges over and across rivers in this state.
The joint resolution to strike out from the con-
stitution the section which provides that all
free schools and colleges Of the state shall be
free and open to both races. and the joint reso-
luton to reorganize the judiciary system OF the
state were both killed.
